Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Amelia to complete a race of 600 meters at an average speed of 8 meters per second, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{600 \text{ meters}}{8 \text{ meters/second}} \]

\[ \text{Time} = 75 \text{ seconds} \]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

d) 75 seconds
